Yeah I agree mate, I think the Shilpa incident didn't highlight hidden colour racism as much as it did hidden social racism.
Jade is mocked and the subject of abuse for being part of the lowest working class and not pretty whereas Shilpa was attractive and succesful.
The world is a shallow place and true discrimination is often blurred and distorted.
It's ironic that so many ordinary and common people would despise one of their own and moan about how little talent she had whereas the people we worship and adore as having 'real' talent are actually merely good at expoiting the masses desire for entertainment and pandering to those needs.
In all seriousness how is being brilliant with a football, or able to act, or swing a golf club a real talent? How does this advance society any more than Jade's reality show performances?
It's all about entertaining the masses, providing us with instant gratification and we will pay millions to such people and even adopt them as our hero's.
The truly talented people, doctors, builders, engineers, scientists etc are of no interest at all to most of the population evidenced by the fact that a premiership footballer will make more in a week than a top surgeon will make in a year.
Jade struck a blow for the common person and should be applauded for it.
